Abstract

A winding device for magnetic tapes, in which the incoming tape (1) is guided over tape-deflecting and guiding elements (3, 4) to the tape roll (7) for winding up, a rubber roller (5) fastened to a low-mass swing arm (6) being pressed against the tape at the point at which the tape tangentially reaches the tape roll, and both the swing arm and the tape-deflecting elements being seated on a pivotal guide arm, which is guided by a pneumatic guidance according to the structure of the tape roll. In this way, a satisfactory winding profile is achieved in the case of magnetic tapes to be wound up, even at high winding speeds.
